Do bad and good actions bear fruit in sequence or without any order?

outcome
"Every action bears its own fruit in its own time; good cannot erase bad, nor can bad negate good—each deed must be lived through."
According to Osho, karmic results arise under an uncompromising inner law (rita/tao): good never cancels bad, nor does bad erase good. Each deed ripens on its own, and its consequences must be lived through—there is no exit via charity, rituals, gurus, or blessings. Only undergoing what you’ve created ends it; therefore, act carefully, because everything you do will return in its due order.
Good deeds don’t erase bad ones; every action brings its own result, and you must face it.
Why this matters practically
- You act responsibly, knowing nothing can be offset later.
- You drop superstitious ‘offsets’ (rituals, donations) and choose integrity.
- You accept and learn from consequences by fully living through them.
